About this home

STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Tucked away on a private cul-de-sac in one of Escondido’s most peaceful neighborhoods, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath home blends comfort, versatility, and investment potential. Set on an elevated .36-acre lot with sweeping views and no HOA, it offers privacy, charm, and convenience — just minutes from top-rated schools, Kit Carson Park, Vineyard Golf Course, Westfield North County Mall, the San Diego Safari Park, and the coast. Filled with natural light, the home has been thoughtfully renovated in 2015 and 2021, with fresh paint inside and out this year. Upgrades include paid-off solar, dual-paned windows, ceiling fans, central AC with a smart thermostat, and an ADT security system. The kitchen features updated cabinetry, granite counters, and a stylish backsplash that flows into the dining and living areas. The lower level, with its own entrance, full kitchen, bath, and fireplace, is ideal for multi-generational living or rental income. Both entries are stair-free, offering accessibility for aging parents. With ample storage, a laundry/work area, and a detached storage unit, it’s also well-suited for a work-from-home lifestyle. Outside, a gated driveway with automated entry accommodates 8+ cars and welcomes guests with a white picket fence, turf lawn, roses, palms, and low-maintenance landscaping. Expansive upper and lower decks showcase sunrise-to-sunset views, while fruit trees — including orange, guava, fig, nectarine, lemon, and papaya — add a loved, well-tended touch. The versatile lower level includes its own private entrance, full kitchen, bathroom, and a cozy log-burning fireplace — making it an ideal space for multi-generational living, rental income, or even dividing into two units. Both entry points are accessible without stairs, creating an excellent option for aging parents. With abundant storage throughout, including a dedicated laundry/tool/work area and an additional detached storage unit, the home also doubles as the perfect work-from-home setup with valuable tax benefits. Outdoors, the property truly shines. The gated driveway with automated entry accommodates 8+ cars, while the front yard welcomes guests with a classic white picket fence, quality artificial turf, palms, roses, and other low-maintenance landscaping supported by a sprinkler system. Security is enhanced with wired Night Owl cameras monitoring every entry point. Expansive upper and lower decks showcase breathtaking sunrises, sunsets, and rolling hill views. Fruit trees — including orange, guava, fig, nectarine, lemon, and papaya — alongside vibrant rose gardens make the property feel loved and well cared for.

Condition Rating
Good

This property, built in 1973, has undergone significant and thoughtful renovations in 2015 and 2021, with fresh paint this year, bringing many areas up to modern standards. The main kitchen features updated white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, a stylish backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, presenting a clean and contemporary look. The main bathrooms also appear updated with modern fixtures and tiling. Key system upgrades like paid-off solar, dual-paned windows, central AC with a smart thermostat, and ceiling fans contribute to its modern functionality and efficiency. Hardwood flooring is prevalent throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, appearing well-maintained. While the main living spaces are very well-appointed and move-in ready, the lower-level kitchen and bathroom, designed for multi-generational living, are more basic in style and condition, featuring older cabinetry, utilitarian tile, and fluorescent lighting. This slight inconsistency prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition is very good, offering a comfortable and updated living experience.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Generational/Income Potential: The dedicated lower level with its own entrance, full kitchen, and bath offers significant flexibility for multi-generational living, rental income, or even conversion into two units, enhancing the property's value and appeal.
Extensive Upgrades & Modern Amenities: Recent renovations (2015, 2021, fresh paint this year) include paid-off solar, dual-paned windows, central AC with smart thermostat, updated kitchen, and an ADT security system, providing modern comfort and efficiency.
Private & Scenic Location: Situated on a private cul-de-sac with an elevated .36-acre lot, offering sweeping views, no HOA, and convenient access to local amenities, schools, parks, and the coast.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Security: Features expansive upper and lower decks with sunrise-to-sunset views, a gated driveway accommodating 8+ cars with automated entry, low-maintenance landscaping, mature fruit trees, and wired Night Owl security cameras.
Work-from-Home & Storage Solutions: Abundant storage throughout, including a dedicated laundry/work area and a detached storage unit, makes it highly suitable for a work-from-home lifestyle.

Cons

Original Construction Age: Built in 1973, the property's underlying structure and some systems may be original, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade costs in the future despite recent renovations.
Significant Landscaping Upkeep: While some areas are low-maintenance, the large .36-acre lot with numerous fruit trees and extensive rose gardens implies a considerable ongoing commitment to gardening and outdoor maintenance.
Absence of Enclosed Garage: The property offers ample driveway parking (8+ cars) but lacks a mention of an enclosed garage, which could be a significant drawback for buyers prioritizing covered parking, security for vehicles, or dedicated workshop space.
